ITINERARY

Today depart from either Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, *Adelaide or *Perth for Los Angeles, USA. Fly with United Airlines, Delta Airlines or Qantas Airways to name a few (subject to availability). Upon arrival you will be met and transferred to the hotel.

Please note: Some flights may arrive early into Los Angeles, however check-in at the hotel will not be available until 3pm. Luggage storage and use of common areas will be available for affected customers so they may relax or explore Los Angeles at leisure prior to check-in.

Today board your luxury motorcoach, which will be your mode of transport for the next 14 days. The motorcoach is fitted out with comfortable seats, air conditioning, flat screen TVs and toilets to ensure a comfortable ride for the epic journey you are about to embark on.

Begin a city tour of the iconic sights of Los Angeles. Start the day in Hollywood with a stroll down Hollywood Boulevard to view the many talented performers who are immortalised on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Grab a photo of the Hollywood Sign in the hills above and then visit the Chinese Theatre, a Hollywood icon known for the celebrity hand and footprints on the pathway at its entrance. After a drive down Sunset Strip, past the hotels and clubs stars have frequented for decades, arrive at the LA Farmers Market for lunch (not included). After lunch, drive through Beverly Hills en-route to the beach cities of Santa Monica and Venice Beach. Santa Monica offers sweeping beach views from the Santa Monica pier and shopping along the 3rd Street Promenade, while Venice has a distinctly bohemian feel with street performers, surfers, artists and musicians congregating along the sand.

This morning you will visit downtown Los Angeles. This is where the now sweeping city started as a small community along the river. Downtown now serves as a cultural hub of food, art and commerce. Take in views of City Hall, the Walt Disney Concert Hall and Olvera Street which has aspects of LA’s Mexican-American culture is preserved. Afterwards travel onwards to Fresno. Fresno is located in the centre of the San Joaquin Valley, the southern portion of California's Central Valley. It’s also located near Yosemite National Park. Upon arrival check-in to the hotel and enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure.

This morning after breakfast depart for Mammoth Lakes via the famous Yosemite National Park. A visit to Yosemite is to bear witness to the awesome power of mother nature, and to admire some of the most breathtaking views on the planet. Upon arrival in Yosemite Valley, you will start with Tunnel View which provides a postcard perfect view of Glacier Point, Half Dome and El Capitan: the world’s largest granite monolith. Descend into the valley for some free time to admire the seasonal waterfalls, picturesque meadows and glacially formed valleys before departing for Mammoth Lakes. Upon arrival in Mammoth Lakes check-in to the hotel and enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure.

Mammoth Lakes is a famous mountain resort town endowed with larger than life scenery and active outdoorsy folks worship at the base of its dizzying 3369m high Mammoth Mountain. Long lasting powder clings to the slopes and when the snow finally fades, the area’s an outdoor wonderland of mountain bike trails, excellent fishing, endless alpine hiking and blissful hidden spots for hot spring soaking. Mammoth is backed by a ridge line of jutting peaks, ringed by clusters of crystalline alpine lakes and enshrouded by the dense Inyo National Forest.

This morning head out towards Las Vegas via the famous Death Valley National Park. Death Valley is a national park of contrasts. Giant sand dunes and rock formations fill a valley flanked by tall mountains and this aptly named park is routinely the hottest place in the United States. You’ll even pass by unusual vegetation with unusual names such as the Devil’s Cornfield and make a stop at Badwater Basin which at 82m below sea level is the lowest point in the United States. Continue through the Mojave Desert to Las Vegas. Upon arrival check-in to the hotel and enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure.

Depart this morning for a day trip to see one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World at Grand Canyon West on the Hualapia Indian Reservation. You’ll pass by Hoover Dam and travel above the mighty Colorado River along the way and upon reaching the Grand Canyon you’ll be treated to stunning views of millions of years of erosion which has exposed brilliantly coloured layers of rock. Return to Las Vegas in the evening.

This morning travel to Utah and along the way enter a natural oasis of hanging gardens within the spectacular rust coloured canyons of Zion National Park. Travel into Zion Canyon to see the most beautiful parts of the park and choose your own adventure: take the free park shuttle deeper into the canyon, and dip your toes into the waters of the Virgin River. Or you may want to take in one of the moderately paced hikes available within the valley. Afterwards continue onto Kanab, known as Utah’s Little Hollywood due to the number of classic western films filmed in the area.

Overnight: Best Western Red Hills or similar, KanabMeals included: None

Today enjoy a day trip to Antelope Canyon. During the tour you will experience views of Lake Powell. The Glen Canyon Dam harnesses the Colorado River in this area, and creates a stunning lake amid the red rock formations. Visit the narrow, corkscrew slot canyons made famous by vivid photographs round the world. Antelope Canyon is the most famous and it lies within the tribal lands of the Navajo Nation, the largest Native American reservation in the country. Here you will enjoy a guided tour of the area with a local Navajo guide. Return to Kanab this afternoon/evening where you will enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure.

Overnight: Best Western Red Hills or similar, KanabMeals included: Breakfast

After breakfast this morning return to canyon country with a visit to the high elevations of Bryce Canyon National Park. Bryce Canyon is famous for its bright orange rock formations called hoodoos. These upright pillars of rock create a whimsical vista that seems to bend and twist as you stroll along the canyon rim. Travel through the heart of Utah along the Wasatch Mountain Range to the mountain resort town of Park City, known for downhill skiing, the 2002 Olympic Games and the Sundance Film Festival. Upon arrival check-in and enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure.

Enjoy a relaxing start to the day to perhaps explore some of the Park City area and enjoy lunch downtown (not included). Travel onwards past Salt Lake City and the Great Salt Lake to Idaho Falls, Idaho. Upon arrival check-in and enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure.

This morning climb the Teton Range, and descend into Jackson Hole via the Teton Pass which offers panoramic views of this beautiful corner of Wyoming. Jackson, Wyoming is one of America’s famous cowboy mountain towns and no stop at the town square is complete without a photo of the famous elk antler arches that adorn the four corners of the town square. Enjoy the western clothing shops, the art galleries or the beautiful scenery that flanks the town on all sides. A few miles up the road, hills give way to the mighty peaks of the Grand Tetons who lend their name to Grand Teton National Park. Arguably the most picturesque mountain range on the continent, the drive north is a spectacular stretch of sightseeing. Your first glimpse of Yellowstone National Park is next, which is the world’s first national park, and the largest fully intact ecosystem in the country. Old Faithful Geyser is the enduring image of the park, so start with a visit to this iconic thermal feature before heading to the town of Gardiner, Montana on the outskirts of the national park for the night.

This morning head back into the national park to explore the upper loop of Yellowstone. Admire the thermal features of Norris Geyser Basin, the coloured mineral terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs and the thundering waterfalls in the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. The stop at Artist Point might just be your favourite scenic moment of the trip. This is a place that has inspired artists and nature lovers since the 1800s. Herds of bison and elk roam fields and hills of the park and if you’re lucky, the occasional bear or moose can be seen. Return to the hotel after an action-packed day of flora and fauna.

They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and if caught doing so, can be fined.

Please note: Tour leaders/guides are not a standard inclusion in all travel offers. Tour leaders/guides will only be made available when particularly required to enhance the experience of the destination featured.
